Western Australia has so much to offer someone who loves nature and adventure:

Most of Western Australia is raw nature on a grand scale - a huge, vast land of intense colours and dazzling sunlight.

With such a huge variety of climates and landscapes - ranging from the tropical Kimberleys, to the arid red-earth deserts, to the towering forests and dramatic granite coastline in the south, there's no shortage of awe-inspiring places out there waiting for you to discover (or return to).

Make your next journey through Western Australia Unforgettable

Do you love to explore, take the roads less travelled and discover new favourite places?

All my life, I've been travelling and exploring my home state - on road trips, boating trips, family camping holidays and fun weekends away with friends.

You'll find that this website is a lot more than simply an information source for the top tourist attractions. I want to inspire you to scramble over the rocks to the next beach (where yours will be the first footprints in the sand), to walk deep into the heart of the forest and to tackle the four wheel drive tracks.

The Point Walter and Blackwall Reach area on the south bank of Perth’s Swan River has special significance to local Aborigines, as it features prominently in Noongar history and legends told throughout the South West of WA. Next time you visit this special place on the Swan River, try and imagine it as it was […]

Glen Brook Dam is a beautiful and secluded lake not far at all from the main John Forrest National Park picnic area. On weekends the official picnic area often gets busy, and so the quartz sand beaches along both the eastern and western shores of the dam is a nice alternative place to relax. It’s […]

Kalamunda’s Rocky Pool in the Piesse Valley (confusingly there are quite a few similar places called “Rocky Pool” in the Perth Hills!) is a beautiful secluded swimming spot along the Piesse Brook surrounded by ledges and boulders of ancient granite. It’s fed by a small but often forceful waterfall where the water is channeled through […]

Perth has so many little parks and areas of remnant bushland tucked away in unexpected corners of suburbia. One such place where I went for a walk recently is Star Swamp Reserve in the suburbs of North Beach and Watermans Bay. It’s the sort of place you’d never know was there if you didn’t live […]

A couple of weeks ago I was down in Margaret River walking a section of the Cape to Cape Track and experienced some wild weather on the last few days of official winter! I finished my 2.5-day walk at Prevelly on Saturday morning, and on the short walk from my camping spot behind Kilcarnup, over […]

I am enjoying exploring your site and I have enjoyed WA the two times I have been there.

I especially love the East Kimberley, the area around Kununurra, with Lake Argyle and the Bungle Bungles and just how wild it is there.

I look forward to keeping up with the new things on your site and I’ll have to come back to write a story about our trips to some very interesting place in Western Australia (The second best state in Australia)

Love exploring your site, particularly the wonderful photos. Have never been to WA but will definitely have to travel over some time in the future, particularly the Margaret River region. Have heard so much about it, specially the wonderful wines there.

Dear sir/madom:
Good afternoon !
This is Jennie from China, I’m so exciting to arranging a trip with my family to WA in Aug. The dolphin centre in Bunburry is part of our trip. since it is winter season in Aug, i wish to know that if I can meet dolphin in such cold weather? is there cruise trip available on 10th Aug?
thank you for your patient, hope to receive your reply soon! All the best!
Jennie

Hi Jennie, I’d suggest you contact the dolphin centre directly, because they’ll know a lot more about specific dates and things for their company than I do. Their email is: info@dolphindiscovery.com.au. It might be a bit cold for swimming tours at that time, but dolphins are around all year round so you’ll most definitely have the chance to see them 😀 !

Just discovered your site through Jo Castro’s Zigazag blog. I love what I see so far – but then you are promoting WA – and we do live in the most amazing state in the whole of Australia! SO lucky aren’t we? We have it all right here!
Great to meet you. Happy travels.

Hello Jill, It’s great to meet you too! I enjoy reading your blog and especially looking through your photos so I feel like I kind of know you a little bit already Recently posted by Bonny: An Afternoon Bush Walk Near Margaret River Town

We went down to Piesse Brook valley to have a swim at the rocky pool yesterday! pro tip: It was cold as.
It was a very beautiful walk with big rocks, wildflowers, nice hikers, gorgeous trees scattered across the land. It was extremely enjoyable and the pool was refreshing!
